Summary:

Examines aggregate House Member mass mailing data, from 1997-2007, to ascertain how many pieces of mass mail were sent by Representatives annually, the total cost of those mailings, the proportion of overall mail costs that Member mass mailings constituted, and the annual percentage of Members who sent at least one mass mailing. Evaluates quarterly variation in Member mass mailing volume and whether the variation reflected cyclical trends. Considers whether mass mailing volume was higher in election years than in non-election years.
